A vehicle hitting a bridge in the Harringay area has left the Suffragette line, including Crouch Hill station, with severe delays into the night.

The Suffragette line is running with severe delays after a vehicle hit a bridge in the Harringay area. Transport for London's status notice covers the line through Crouch Hill station from 1.45pm on Wednesday 11 November and runs until about 1.30am on Thursday.

The notice says tickets are being accepted via any reasonable route, so Crouch Hill passengers have alternatives to waiting for a train.

Bridge strikes usually mean the structure has to be checked before normal service resumes. Anyone relying on the line home tonight should plan on another way.
